While console mode is enabled, is it obligatory to have the shield in clamshell mode?

Provided you have bought the media remote or shield gamepad you can close it into clamshell position. I have the Nyko dock and use it in this form factor all the time.

No. You need the screen up even if you aren't going to use it (HDMI-Out Only) as when the clamshell is closed it covers up the buttons on the top.

Yes! That's the setup I have now. It gets a little stretched out, so going back to no shell might be a loose it.

I use my finger, it gives me a better result with the shield on. For everyday use I leave the Sheila off. If I take with me on a trip or vacation I leave shield on.

Sorry it Does not, it has separate controls for each of the modes of operation that are controlled by either the remote or on the console itself

No. It just slides right into a slot in the side of the console. It's as easy as plugging a flash drive into a USB slot

Yes! Absolutely! The NVidia Shield is a fine hand-held or table top console with fantastic support. I use it during my breaks at work, I plug it into my TV at home and sync a Bluetooth controller (Nyko or Mad Catz is what I use) and my 3 year old love to play Mario 64 like a home console.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

Yes, it does. I get around it by using 90 degree headers on the pins that are covered by the shield. I was a little disappointed that it covered all I/O pins but it is a great little display. Once I figured out the 90 degree header trick, I was very pleased with it. Hope that helps.

Look on the back side of the console. If you are standing on the machine facing the screen and controls, the port should be on the back side of it, usually on the right side. You can probably feel it with your right hand.

Yes open the synapses and turn on gaming mode and the windows key will not work while gaming mode is on

They need to be on the same device, console or pc, as far as I know. Both of mine are on the same.

That depends on what you mean. If the case is open, you can easily plug everything in, with no need to remove the console. However, if the case is to be closed, everything will have to be unplugged and placed in the cloth bags that come with the case.

When you turn it off it stays in standby mode. The only buttons on console are- ch ^ ch. down and power.

Yes. You have to assemble it to start with. So you can just leave off the shield.

Yes it is in standard mode until you change it to 3d mode using the menu options.

Mine is pretty secure inside both covers.I definitely noticed issue 1 though. I was tearing out my hair wondering what was wrong with the mouse and why it wouldn't switch profiles. :o

Yes, the console has a tablet holder over the upper display. You can easily watch stuff....but won't be able to see the information on the upper display.
